COMBINED SPRAYER AND NOZZLE.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 523,941, dated July 31,1894.

Application filed October 21, 1893.

- United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne, State ofMichigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in aCombined Sprayer and Nozzle;

and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification. w

This invention relates to a combined sprayer and nozzle, and consists ina certain construction and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter fullyset forth, the essential features of which being pointed outparticularly in the claim.

The object of the'invention is to provide a simple device that may becheaply made, that combines a sprayer and nozzle, and in which theconstruction is such that by a very slight adjustment of parts, anydegree of spray may be thrown, from a heavy spread of water to a mist sofine as to float upon the air. This object is attained by the deviceillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is anelevation of our improved device. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinalsection through the same.

Referring to the letters of reference, A designates the case or shellwhich is provided With'an extension I) having means for attaching thehoseB thereto, and having an induct port a. Communicating with said portis a nozzle C which projects from the shell in line with the extensionb, and is provided with a screw cap 0 to close the end thereof.

D designates an extended boss formed integral with the case and havingan aperture 6 therethrough that communicates at right angles with theport or opening a. The outer end of said aperture e is beveled outwardforming a conical mouth or seat, the wall of which is cupped or madeslightly concave, as shown at t in Fig. 2. v

E designates a cone-valve which coincides shell.

with the conical seat of said aperture and is Serial No. 488,827. (Nomodel.)

secured therein so that but a small portion of the base ,of said valveextends therefrom. Formed integral with said valve and extending fromthe apex thereof, is a valve stem d that passes through the apertureeand crosses the induct a, the lower end thereof being threaded andscrewed into the wall of the Said valve having the serrated nib orannulus f by means of which it is manipulated.

To provide a lateral brace for the stem at and prevent it fromvibrating, it is provided with the radial wings 0 which bear against thewalls of the aperture e and support the walls centrally therein.

Depending from the shell is aspike F which is adapted to be forced intothe ground, to retain-the device in place while the sprayer is inoperation.

This device may be made to serve as an 01'- dinary nozzle by turning thevalve E so that the threads on its stem will draw it down onto its seatand removing the cap 0 from the end of the nozzle C.

When it is desired to employ the device as a sprayer, the end of thenozzle is closed by said cap, and said valve opened by turning it so asto unscrew its threaded stem. By raising the valve some distance fromthe seat, a heavy spray of water will be thrown from around said valvein an expansive circle. Any degree of spray being attainable by sim plyadjusting said valve nearly to its seat, the water which is forcedthrough the contracted opening becomes atomized and reduced to a mist sofine as to be readily borneupon the air. Rendering the device highlyadaptable for sprinkling an extensive area and for watering delicateplants and flowers. This atomizing effect is accomplished through thepeculiar construction of parts. The water being forced through thecontracted opening around the apex of the cone, impinges upon theflaring sides thereof and is deflected against the concaved wall of theseat, the force of'which reduces the water to very fine particles whichexpand in passing outward through the increased radius of the openingand discharge in mist around the base of the cone. The device is highlyefficient as a rco sprinkler or sprayer, and its utility is greatly saidvalve aperture, and having the lateral broadened because of itssimplicity and cheapwings that engage the sides thereof, said stem nessof construction.
